An astonishingly long-lasting piece of Strathclyde Regional Council artwork remaining at the Clyde Tunnel entrance.
Shared path signal crossing with ‘begging-button’. Prioritises cars within the sensor zone of the signal, otherwise changes immediately.
A car-sized gap between the water-filled barriers and the sign-post. The barriers are no replacement for the four bollards that used to be here before COP26.
[UPDATE: On 21.7.22 I saw the Road Closed sign had been removed.] [Image taken 19.7.22] Coppergate (Nessgate end), York. The temporary Road Closed sign is a hazard. It further reduces the already limited space for people turning at a tight ... [more]
[UPDATE: On 21.7.22 I saw the Road Closed sign had been removed.] [Image taken 19.7.22] Coppergate (Nessgate end), York. The temporary sign is facing the wrong direction. Other image, other problem with this sign today: #184929. Other image ... [more]
[Image taken 19.7.22] Terry Avenue (Millennium Bridge, end) York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] There is no signage declaring, “Terry Avenue is again open to people cycling, walking, wheelchairing. Come and enjoy the serenity, t ... [more]
[Image taken 18.7.22] Terry Avenue, York. The gate that was here pre-Clementhorpe floodworks (see: #73827) was removed. Now we have fencing/temporary barricades which look(s) intimidating. And an inaccurate sign. The route is open... to non ... [more]
[Image taken 18.7.22] (Close to the campsite entrance/exit), Terry Avenue, York. Context and links: #184932. All images Terry Ave today: #184906 and links.
The road ahead (left-right, which happens to be NCN 1) has been designated a "40mph zone", despite being a normal country lane no different from any of the other lanes in the area.
This country lane (which happens to be NCN 1) has been designated a "40mph zone", despite being a normal country lane no different from any of the other lanes in the area. Drivers were remarkably deferential when I encountered them.
Even in the centre of Cambridge there are still Dead End signs without an Except Cyclists plate - incredible.
[Image taken 14.6.22] Grosvenor Road close to the junction with Grosvenor Terrace, York. I think this might be a new sign - it's very clean and isn't on street view. Context and links: #183558. The building on the left is the former home of ... [more]
[Correction/Update: The ward councillor clarified: "The Press report is incorrect. This is because the signs were put in the wrong position. Burton Stone Lane will be closed from Crichton Ave to Burton Green so that the concrete road repair ... [more]
[Image taken 12.6.22] Hurricane Way, Rawcliffe/Clifton Moor, York. I'm baffled why there is a new No idling sign here but none at polluted junctions. (Especially where CYC has made changes under the TSAR scheme https://democracy.york.gov.uk ... [more]
[Image taken 12.6.22] Hurricane Way, Rawcliffe/Clifton Moor, York. Context/links: #183545. Note the York barrier - the level level chicane on the left, and the staggered railings on the right. These obstruct the passage of most people with ... [more]
[Image taken 8.6.22] Coppergate, York. Context: #180531. Permanent 'Except cycles' signs at the entrance from Nessgate. A cycle symbol is (just) visible on the tarmac just after the pedestrian crossing. Other image here today: #183406. Othe ... [more]
No bikes (etc) in the area of the Pech-Merle cave - in the other direction a sign says that bikes are permitted.
A 'No Through Road' sign on a road that is signed as a cycle route leading somewhere (in this case, to the South City Way).
No Horses sign - the mountain bike and horse variant of the Tour du Lot passes below Rocamadour, pedestrians go through the village.
Decades ago, when these trees were smaller and bicycles slower, this narrow track used to be a cycle lane, see also #50131 . The (redundant) sign to the right indicates that pedestrians are permitted (on the former cycleway) up to the bus ... [more]
[Image taken 27.5.22] Asda, Monks Cross, Huntington/York. Clear cycle parking (destination) signage. (Other good examples see also: #182704, #174629.) Other image same location, same reason but with Asda logo visible: #183017. Other images ... [more]
[Later image: #183782] [Image taken 27.5.22] Asda, Monks Cross, Huntington/York. A couple of weeks ago a student asked me how he could sell his bicycle. He wasn't aware of any physical noticeboards at the Uni. He said it wasn't a good one i ... [more]
Shouldn't this sign show segregated pedestrian and cycle paths rather than a general cycleway sign? The 20 mph limit applies to the road, of course.
[Image taken 24.5.22] Jorvik Gillygate Practice, [www.jorvikgillygatepractice.co.uk/] Woolpack House, St Saviour's Place, York. Context, other image here today, and links: #182796.
[Image taken 24.5.22] Jorvik Gillygate Practice, [www.jorvikgillygatepractice.co.uk/] Woolpack House, St Saviour's Place, York. I'm interested in the possible instances of unauthorised use of these racks. Other images this location: #17646 ... [more]
Another 'Cycles only' sign on University Avenue. The solid line of the mandatory cycle lane extends over part of the junction too.
The sign reads "No vehicular access to Argyle Street" but is covered in graffiti. A sign at Argyle Street suggests this is part of the West City Way council cycle route. A case where 'No Motor Vehicles' should be used, and the bollards rein ... [more]
.. but what is this nonsense? (see #182651) - Cyclists Dismount sign where cars are obviously free to move around - on the way to new cycle parking in a car park just off Causewayhead, Penzance. (And why so far above the ground?)
NCN route 3 continues ahead, cyclists turning right to Penzance station are supposed to dismount to cross a car park.
[Image taken on 11.5.22] Bootham Park Hospital grounds, exit to Bridge Lane, York. Bad practice: cyclists dismount sign. A warning: "Pedestrian-cycle path ahead' would be appropriate. Other images today: #182555 and links.
Start of byway - I haven't tested it, but cyclists should be able to get through to the Helford River at the head of Porth Navas Creek.
Not easy to see, but one sign reads Roadworks from 27/4 for 4 days, the other reads Roadworks from 29/4 for 3 days - and they're both still there well into May.
[Image taken on 4.5.22] Bootham Terrace, York. Tree cutting alongside the York-Scarborough rail line today, Thursday and Friday. No sign providing that information but many people on hand to answer questions and provide directions. Such as: ... [more]
[UPDATE: Late May 2022, CYC removed this.] [Image taken on 4.5.22] Royal Mail sorting office, Leeman Road/Esplanade, York. [NOTE: No streetview at this location.] A ghost sign and sandbag. (It used to be here: #173197.) Unsightly, a trip ha ... [more]
With the local elections approaching, I'd have thought that there would be a little more urgency to get the cycle routes that have been built already properly up and running, but no, the Argyle Street crossing has been rebagged. (See also # ... [more]
[Image taken 26.4.22] Cocoa Works development (www.thecocoa-works.com, Foss Islands Way, Haxby Road, York. [Note: No street view here.] Context: #173466. A sign has been added. However it neither resolves the issue of no sightlines nor warn ... [more]
[Image taken 23.4.22] Haughton Road (northern end), York. Not one but two (additional) Northern Gas Networks information boards - context and further links: #181990.
[UPDATE: The works finished early May. All signs have been removed.] [Image taken 23.4.22] Haughton Road (northern end), York. The Northern Gas Networks sign (information board) makes it clear who to contact if there is an issue. If you mis ... [more]
Pop-up cycle lanes in Croydon - with signs telling pedestrians to step in to them for social distancing. Dangerous advice!

[UPDATE: 20.4.22 An email from CYC says: "I will ask the contractors to remove the One Way sign and locate it elsewhere." Later image: #181987] [Image taken 14.4.22] Mill Lane, York. The sign leaves only 68cm for pedestrians. It's not enoug ... [more]
[Later image of these signs on the ground: #181988] [Image taken 14.4.22] Mill Lane, looking towards Heworth Green, York. No need for the cyclists dismount sign: the road is closed in this direction. Other images this issue yesterday: #1816 ... [more]
Thank you Thank you Thank you @GreaterCambs New lower street signs now on Blackhall Road Junction give full view of the traffic both north and south https://t.co/iagJiB0Fr0
[Image taken on 9.4.22] Aldwark, York. The road closed sign further narrows a route that is already restricted widthwise. The road ahead closed sign must be aimed at emergency vehicles because Aldwark has filtered permeability bollards at i ... [more]
